Chapter 629 Luo Qi Appears
The man with a feminine face held a reflective object in his hand and stabbed it towards his temple.
This scene made the other three people stunned for a moment, and also made the man in front realize that something was wrong. He turned his head and there was a moment of panic on his sinister face, and then all the superpowers he used to resist the ice hockey were used to control the things in the man's hands.
At the same time as he used his supernatural power to pull a piece of metal half as long as his finger out of the feminine man's hand, snowballs in the sky broke through the mental barrier like countless bullets and shot into the bodies of the two men from all directions.
The ice balls floating in the air turned into countless ice fragments that looked like snowflakes all over the sky, making the blood color on the ground even brighter.
The metal man's brows were still furrowed, and he looked like he was about to lose his temper at any moment. He held the thin metal strip that was snatched away from him and crawled two steps with force, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. He walked in front of the feminine man, put the thing in his hand back into his hand, grabbed his hand and fell down without a sound.
It was only then that they realized that it was actually a ring, and the adjustable opening made it a suicide weapon.
"This..." Zhao Lei was about to say something when he saw this scene.
He felt a huge energy in the air, carrying with it the force of wind and snow towards him.
Each psychic has different perception and control of their powers, which results in completely different means of attack in their hands. Although different psychics can sense the same type of powers, the actual contact is still different.
This feeling is particularly obvious when power deprivation occurs between high-level psychics.
At this moment, Zhao Lei clearly felt the energy that belonged to the water element. It should have been chilling, but he felt a sense of generosity and tolerance, as if...
A person who was weighing on Zhao Lei's heart appeared in his mind. He looked around blankly and finally met the silent man who came back with Zhou He.
The man who had been avoiding his sight was now looking at him gently. Although his face was so ferocious that no trace of his original appearance could be seen, Zhao Lei felt familiar with it.
A shout was on the tip of his tongue, but before he could finish it, he saw the motionless psychic struggling to sit up. He hugged the metal man's upper body and looked at them with an evil smile.
This gave Zhao Lei a bad feeling.
There was a faint energy vibration in the air. Zhou He, who was pushed out together, looked around vigilantly. Something immediately wrapped around his waist. He turned around and saw Qu Zhu and Yun Bai who had returned to support them.
Two vines sprouted from Qu Zhu's hands, one tied to him and the other tied to Zhao Lei.
"Brother——" Zhao Lei let out a shrill roar, and Zhou He's tense heartstrings suddenly broke.
Zhao Lei on the side struggled violently, broke the plants that tied him up, and ran forward regardless of anything.
Energy was already dissipating in the direction where the man was standing. Even though they hadn't figured out what was happening, the oppressive feeling brought by this huge energy made them unable to help but step back.
"Deputy Captain!" Qu Zhu shouted, commanding the plants he had created to pull Zhao Lei again. However, they were blocked by the water energy that unconsciously escaped from Zhao Lei's body when he was anxious, and they were unable to touch him.
The man in the distance also saw Zhao Lei running towards him, and his originally gentle eyes were instantly filled with fear. He wanted to walk in Zhao Lei's direction, but just sending the two people away had exhausted his already insufficient supernatural powers. Without the energy to support the freezing, the wound on his leg began to rage, and he finally staggered and fell to the ground.
“Go—go—!” The man pounded the ground hard, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Take him away quickly--!" He could not persuade Zhao Lei who was running towards him, so he could only shout at Zhou He.
"You can't run away. None of you can escape." The feminine man spoke, gently as if he was chanting. There were mottled cracks on his face like a broken mirror, and blood gushed out of it. As if he didn't feel the pain, his eyes were fixed on the people in front of him with burning eyes.
Huge amounts of energy began to surge, and the unique frequency of fluctuations became stronger little by little.
Zhou He also felt something was wrong. His years of experience on the line between life and death told him that if he didn't leave, something dangerous might happen.
But Zhao Lei...
Zhou He looked at the man crawling towards Zhao Lei on the ground and made a decision in his heart, "Qu Zhu, bring..."
The snow and wind in the sky were controlled by a tangible force, like a long river winding in the air, carrying the man on the ground towards Zhao Lei.
"Qu Zhu, help me..." Zhao Lei's voice was choked with sobs and a desperate struggle.
The two vines reached out towards Zhao Lei again, but the wind and snow infused with supernatural powers were too strong, and the delicate branches were completely unable to touch the two people.
The energy in the air was enough to make people feel a slight pain. Seeing that it would be too late if they didn't leave now, Zhao Lei took a big step forward, caught the man in mid-air with both hands, and smiled brightly to the team members in the distance, "You guys go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the long river of broken snow that had originally carried the man flew towards Zhou He. As Zhao Lei released his special abilities, he and the three of them gradually disappeared from sight.
"Zhao Lei--" Only Zhou He's hoarse shout could be heard in the wind and snow, and then a huge energy exploded from the center, sweeping over with the force of destroying the world.
Zhou He used all his superpowers to resist, but was still knocked flying by the energy impact. The two people following him were not much better off. Yun Bai had even lower superpowers and had no power to resist at all. He crashed into a broken wall and fainted instantly.
The land, which had already been ravaged by rocket launchers, was baptized by energy and its surroundings had been completely reduced to ruins.
Darkness covered everything, and the surroundings returned to silence, with only the strong smell of blood floating in the air, as if the confrontation just a moment ago had never existed.
A few violent coughs were heard, and a mound of earth was lifted up. Zhou He struggled to get up from the ground and searched in the direction they had just separated. After a while, he found the seriously injured Qu Zhu and the unconscious Yun Bai.
"Captain? What happened just now was..." Qu Zhu looked at the darkness and spoke in a confused voice.
Since the establishment of the Yuebanwan base, there has never been any death due to failed upgrades of the "Self-Destructing Crystal Core". Even Zhou He has forgotten the scene of the crystal core explosion.
He had never seen the scene of an S-class superpower's crystal core exploding, but he had seen the energy emitted by an S-class crystal core from a rocket launcher. Under such a powerful energy impact, Zhao Lei...
A figure slowly appeared in the sight. He seemed to be holding something in his hand. His leisurely posture showed that he was not one of them. Zhou He protected Qu Zhu and the other man behind him, his whole body tense.
If another S-level mutant appeared at this time, none of the three of them would be able to leave.
As the distance got closer, Zhou He recognized the person in front of him. This casually dressed man was the one who was dressed most normally among the six top psychics, and the one who basically did not take any action from beginning to end - the water-based psychic Wang Bing.
His feet moved as fast as the wind, like a person with speed ability, and he appeared in front of the three people in a blink of an eye. At the same time, people could also see clearly what he was holding in his hands - it was the Zhao Lei brothers.
Only then did Zhou He remember that the person in front of him and the man once had a cooperative relationship.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou He did not forget how they were upgraded. Even though he knew that the Zhao brothers were able to survive with the help of this man, he still did not let down his guard.
Looking at Wang Bing from a close distance, there is nothing outstanding about him. He is so ordinary that he cannot be recognized as soon as he walks into a crowd. He is also not like the other psychics who are eager to release their supernatural power at all times.
He did not seem to want to have a conflict with Zhou He and the others. He stood ten meters away, threw the two people in his hands to the ground, and whispered, "Luo Qi has set his sights on the leader of your base." Without waiting for Zhou He and the others to answer, he turned around and disappeared from sight.
"Captain? What does he mean by this?" Qu Zhu didn't understand what was going on and asked, "Rebellion?"
Zhou He couldn't figure it out either, but this was not the most important thing at the moment. He quickly stepped forward to check the two people on the ground and made sure they were still alive. He immediately turned to Qu Zhu and said, "Let's meet them and leave here."
"The crystal core exploded. The people here must know what happened. There's no guarantee that the other psychics won't come after us."
"Captain, shall we return to the base? Will they follow us back?" Judging from their fighting power, those people in the base were obviously no match for them.
Zhou He paused and said, "No, let's go to the Mountain God Base."
**
As Zhou He expected, the self-destructing crystal core alarmed many people at the Panshui base.
Not long after their team met, they were hunted by psychics again, and the casualties were serious. Zhou He could no longer care about anything else, and relied entirely on the weapons he brought with him to escape with his team members.
There were too many unconscious and injured people, and it was impossible for them to move forward on their own. All the crystal cores in the team were given to Guan Wei. It was only by relying on his earth-based abilities to maintain an earth-based teleportation that no one was left behind.
Fortunately, the Shanshen Base was not far from the Panshui Base, and the group finally reached the Shanshen Base before dawn.
At that time, the remaining four psychics had all chased after them, and standing among them was a middle-aged man with an untidy beard.
"The one in the middle is Luo Qi." Zhao Lei's brother Zhao Gang has woken up. His legs were swept by the energy of the self-explosion at close range and have become limp as a pulp. However, his anxiety along the way did not show any sign on his face. When he saw the pursuers behind him, he whispered a reminder.
This man was not as powerful as others imagined. With his unkempt face and messy hair, he looked like a savage. However, Zhou He had been working on the front line for many years and immediately felt a dangerous aura from him. It was completely different from the oppression brought by the high-level psychic, but it was the aura of this man himself.
This is related to past experiences and is engraved in people's bones. It cannot be covered up by a kind appearance or friendly behavior.
